ADVANCED SELFIE CHALLENGE: Dark Emotional Heartbreak Edition (6 Easy Self Portrait Ideas)
Round two of my Advanced Selfie challenge, this time coming to you with the dark, emotional, heartbreak edition. I think tough emotions are really powerful for us creators to embrace.
Being able to translate what you're feeling into art doesn't only result in beautiful images, but it also helps you to process your emotions, so don't shy away from creating art when you're going through tough times!
I think even if you're not going through tough times, just channeling dark feelings or even extreme feelings will add a new layer to your photos. So give it a go.
Let's make it our challenge for this week. The Sad Advanced Selfie Challenge (#SadAdvancedSelfieChallenge)...man that's a long hashtag. See how you can harness the power of dark emotions to help you create pieces of art!
Share them on your social media for me to browse! I'm excited to see what you come up with!
Here is the link to my previous Advanced Selfie Challenge where I was in a Tiny Room and created 7 Advanced Selfies in there: • ADVANCED SELFIE CHALLE...
I'm excited what came out of these advanced selfies. Please let me know which shot is your favourite!
I hope you enjoyed this video!
PS. I'm ok dudes. No need to worry about me! I'm just showing the power of emotions in this video :) No heartbreak on this end.

Yay for feelings helping to create beautiful art! Let's make it a challenge for the week to bring emotion into your photographs - The Sad Advanced Selfie Challenge (#SadAdvancedSelfieChallenge) - man that’s a long hashtag. Who’s in? PS. I’m totally fine. Just over seeing fake smiles on the internet and wanting to get more emotion into photographs because we aren’t one dimensional beings! All emotions should be acknowledged and embraced!!! #AHappyLifeIsABoringLife ;)

[@NylodeMeijer]

Hey Sorelle, I'm so glad that you made this video. I'm not here to say "I struggle with this and that", but want to ask you a question. I'd like to share a photo, but it's not like sad. I think it's rather dark/psycho. Is that fitting in this challenge as well?

[@carlie9584]

Gosh I love this so much, Sorelle

[@BonciuToma]

Sorelle Amore I think this is the best video you've made. Maybe because it's on my alley in terms of dark and moody 👻

[@DavidSenteno]

Ok...I'm not a selfie guy but I'm going to give it a try. Definitely won't be a nude though... 😂

[@Chefbrycemcnabb]

Sorelle Amore You did an amazing job on this video. And your hashtag Challenge looks like it can be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see what amazing art that comes from this challenge. So yea, I accepted this challenge!

[@atrisha5179]

I'm crying, but i don't know why. I think we all needed a person to represent that sadness can be transformed to art. And this is it. This video. Thank you for putting this out there. Creators heal faster because we use out emotions in our art.

[@juanquispe3494]

2:54 Title: "When you finished building IKEA furniture but don't know where that one left over thing is missing."

[@SorelleAmore]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[@yokonono2171]

I love the way Sorelle lights up when she talks about those things. Her ideas are extremely creative and I could only dream to be like her. Damn, I love the advanced selfie videos. Learning a lot from them

[@tigerlily7173]

Loved them all..so raw and real. We are most vulnarable and true when we are experiencing this spectrum of emotions. The first one by the window speaks to me the most. The lighting, the body lines, the pain..its all there. Loved it..

[@lissamckee3]

To say that you’re my girl crush would be a severe understatement and kind of undermine what it is I admire about you. I’d say you’re like my soul crush if that makes sense? Like I really just admire you and your energy SO much and literally have not felt inspired by anyone like I have by you in soooo freaking long. You’re doing amazing 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@SorelleAmore]

Soul crush might be the cutest thing I’ve ever read. Thank you queen. We can soul crush on each other :)

[@maf3695]

Lissa McKee I STRONGLY agree! 😍

[@SotiriaSelisiou]

World needs positivity, light and mind expansion through art , prefer your sunny side, and sunny side doesn't mean that you have to be happy all the time. It means that through art we deliver positive vibes for expansion and creativity. That's what is missing from human art in our age...and you are an expert in the bright creative side of the art. Really appreciate your work

[@charlesduzzie9811]

Sorelle, I know you spend more time above the emotional horizon then most of us. You are a person that helps us all with your joy ... Take pride in that.

[@KonradNomad]

I once ate Sorelle's leftovers and she became really sad. I can technically say she learnt to do sad selfies because of me

[@SorelleAmore]

HAHAHAHAHA! Basically. Thanks brother for teaching me. You da best ;)

[@KonradNomad]

Sorelle Amore yeah, that's fine. The leftovers were great... Next episode: angry selfies

[@boshenaw.929]

Better than then tantrums you threw when somebody ate YOUR leftovers... :-)

[@KonradNomad]

Living with Sorelle and Stefi the only way I could survive was to eat everything fast, watch over my shoulder and sleep with one eye opened. Having 2 sisters meant that I was the target for all their pranks. I survived, I never had leftovers, I never threw tantrums

[@dimitrioszacharopoulos4853]

Sorelle I love your attitude and content. You’re a breath of fresh air. Most people in photography and videography on KZbin and elsewhere are so predictable and so bland. Your style, attitude, outlook, approach and methods are amazing and I’m inspired. I love watching you work and create. You make me have faith again in art and unlike others, instead of doing the WHAT and HOW as most people do, you search for the WHY! Awesome! Thank you!

[@lauravelasquez5397]

I really want to see a movie with u as the principal actress.

[@SorelleAmore]

I’d be down for that too 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@illiria29]

I like a lot the B&W one. Seems the sunflowers try to touch you for comfort and help.

[@nataliecukova1858]

Girl... I understand. It's hard to create when your mind is broken but from that cleft, we can extract really strong emotions, you are right. But when we will be thinking about it too much it will eat our brains. I appreciate you so much and work too. Stay powerful because you are.

[@JayMuneeDIY]

Your channel is so addicting. Honestly so many photography channels and yours just stands out. Love you personality so much 🖤

[@KuttyKuwaha]

So true

[@cherryblossom8911]

That first minute and 15 seconds or so really had me in tears. It just touched me so deep. I felt every word you spoke. I adore you!

[@JaneDoe-lt5zr]

Yep. Face the darkness head on. Don't let it consume you. Because it will. Use it to your advantage. Perfect Sorelle.

[@brendabarrera6252]

Sorelle...you are absolutely right when you say that about emotions and allowing ourselves to feel them instead of denying them and avoiding them....this leads to healing, therefore, birthing new creativity and as a result, setting us free!... Great insights... You make 'Adanced Selfies' be more about the embracing of the 'Self' and in every aspect of it. Especially this particular one, is the expression that's the most confrontational one, yet the one that drives us to be more authentic. So thank you for sharing authenticity through your work, Sorelle!!..💕💕💕

[@JessicaOrban3606]

Art is movement, fluidity, emergent, alive, and layered. Art is emotion

[@marlaynamae7297]

I took my first advanced selfie yesterday. It was liberating! I have always had this burning desire to dive into photography but constantly held back by a lack of confidence and debilitating perfectionism. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for just being you and real and raw and sharing with the world. I signed up for skillshare a few weeks ago after watching one of your videos. Game changer! Then your video on just going for it and putting yourself out there no matter what gear you have or where you are at in your skill level was enough to finally tell those annoying little voices of self doubt to shut the hell up! I am finally going for it! Feels so dang good to create again! Thank you Sorelle!

[@kaius8449]

You are such an inspiration Sorelle. I used to be so camera shy and would run away from cameras but after watching your videos i’ve gained so much confidence in front of the camera. I am now taking pictures that portray a lot of emotions and even though i don’t like majority of them i still put them out. This dark moody concept is my favorite concept in photography. I love how it portrays raw emotions and vulnerability

[@whitneyorloff8843]

You speak as if creators are so different from everyone else, but we're not all alone in these feelings. I think that everyone feels the need to create something, (and the wreched emotions that come with that,) to add to the world we were born into before we leave it.

[@kennygo8300]

There's so many possibilities in this direction for art. Pain is usually the source for the greatest of art. Thing is, I'm getting old and I just don't want to go there. One of the best things about you is how you project joy in your artwork. I know we all need balance, but your gift isn't suffering. At least is doesn't seem that way to me.

[@carbonatedwine]

I totally agree! Sadness can be used in a powerful way through art to tell stories. It's disappointing that there isn't as much emotional art on the internet.

[@RezaMolavi]

Thank you Sorelle for sharing the beautiful imagery of your thoughts and your feelings.

[@МарияАрзуманян-б7г]

Oh my God! Sorelle, you're so incredibly amazing...There are tears in my eyes every time I watch your videos. The words you say, the inspiration you give come straight into my heart. I adore you and your creations. Thank you for being so real and inspiring!

[@rafaelasis9164]

every time you speak about "those things" you don't fail to amaze me and to reflect.

[@diaryofjess]

yeahh.... this was dope, as per usual. I love sad images, they evoke way more emotion from me as a viewer than those fake smiles. Will definitely take part in this challenge! Beautiful sweetheart.

[@palepiney1213]

I agree so much with your little introductory speech. Not only does grief, heartache, or pain help us put our all into our art, but creating art helps us cope and understand our strong feelings. Gosh I love the way your mind works 😁

[@NatariSaito]

Oh my god that intro!! Your words are so right. Everything I've been feeling every day of my life! It's incredible how true this is!

[@deeowhite]

Sorelle you're an inspiration. Thank you for making these videos. It's both educational and sentimental. Never stop creating!

[@leannerae]

You sitting in the chair with the ring and crumpled paper is may favourite. Love love love it! You are such an amazing artist and storyteller with your photography!

[@magdalenap.5276]

I love the drama and the tragedy in here. The aura of the darkness. My favs are: flowers in a vase with the ring next to them, and two first ones - because of everything. Your poses there and the austere surrounding, tells about a tragedy and helplessness. As if the world's over. But there is a light. There's something outside. In these pictures I can see the sadness, helplessness, a lack of strength to live. However, this window brings there also hope, that one day this person will be happy again. I love also the one in bed - as you are holding a candle in your hand. Think that's the best one to me. It's PERFECT. Honestly, I think that emotions are the essence of art. Emotions create an art, to be specific. Photographs without them are just pictures that someone took.

[@shattered2008]

I think everyone is trying to bring so much positivity into social media and to show something that they are not (heya I am super-duper happy-clappy and never have any troubles in my life) that it becomes so overly sugary that people feel sick. Like plastic faces, bodies, emotions, and zero tolerance to reality. And it's sad because there are struggles and pain and sickess, humiliation, abuse, break down and mental health illnesses. And so so much of this. And people who have those emotions or troubles feel much more isolated because of the social media, because everyone supposedly should only show how happy clappy they are. You know when you are an adult and you cannot eat some kid's sweets because they are so sickening sweet that you feel nauseous? That's is what I mean. Thank you, Sorelle, for showing your darker sides too. That is so authentic and respectful. Thank you.

[@chatterboxmali5482]

Okay, so the picture of you hugging the chair... breathtaking. I love it so much. I also just love your videos. We shouldn't be afraid of "negative" emotions, in my opinion. They can be so powerful in the creative process and in healing processes. Thank you, Sorelle!!

[@TheOrthodoxMoor]

That B&W Shot W/The Sunflower Was Amazing...

[@hashirbeg9305]

@Sorelle, thank you so much for publishing this video. I have subscribed to so many other photographers on KZbin and, while they all are brilliant at what they do, it’s only you I find humanising the process. You’re literally the only photographer whose video I eagerly wait for cause there’s so much value in what you offer to this world. You make me realise why I love photography as an art form. I love the thought process behind these photos and the attention to detail. My personal favourite has got to be the one with the chair. I literally went back and paused the video at that scene and stared at that photos to take it all in. You are an awesome photographer and more so an amazing person. I hope someone reminds you of this every single day of your life. ♥️

[@highlandlove]

I LOVE ALL YOU SHARE Sorelle! BRAVO! AMAZING! Thank you for all you do, share, and just being you! You are helping to change the world with your videos. Keep going - and I love your huge smile!

[@francineh.7825]

I really loved the pose of you in the chair and the ring but without the paper. The way you were looking at the ring conveyed a lot of emotion.

[@julielps5674]

Pro tip for sad photos! Using some oil (for example rosehip, jojoba, olive) to make tears is suuuper efficient. Take a dropper, put a drop or two near the inner corner of the eye and let it slide down your cheek like a real tear would. Using oil instead of water makes it stand out more, doesn't dry as fast as water would so more time for taking the perfect shot.

[@LovingLifeasEmma]

Also I really needed to hear this. I’ve been struggling with sadness today particularly & that’s actually why I was watching KZbin lol but now I feel inspired to go do something with my sadness instead of just sitting around & feeling bad about feeling sad.

[@Voolenvine]

YASSSS!!! I love this idea so much. Let's photograph ALL the feels! 🙌🏻💔

[@mohanamisra]

I discovered you about a month ago. You are amazing. I have no idea why I was living under a rock all this time.

[@playthora6515]

Her smile is so sharp it just slices my vision.

[@KarlaI]

My favorite photos were the first - I think you did a great job at portraying heartbreak (my immediate thought was "divorce, emptiness, loneliness, devastation") and the chair photo - it could really be interpreted many ways and that's what I loved about it!!

[@pile333]

Caravaggio would have been an awesome photographer.

[@tesniruby8614]

I've always found my best poetry comes out when I'm in a depressed state. But it has to be natural. Last year I was writing a poetry suite for my HSC, and the content was quite dark, but I was just not feeling dark at all. I tried to listen to sad songs and watch videos but what came out just wasn't real. Writing when I'm feeling depressed feels a lot more authentic.

[@booksetmore1219]

I don’t have words. You are like a BOMB of inspiration and lately you’ve been exploding in front of me. THANK YOU! Thank you for making Creation something tangible that isn’t limited to drawing or art history books. Please never stop creating & please, please keep sharing all of this. 🙏🏼♥️

[@jamisonjenkins6675]

Just had an old friend/bandmate pass last week. Was feeling stifled as hell creativity wise. When you brought up turning those dark things into something I immediately got my groove back. So so so many thank yous!

[@ALIENINTELLECT]

A picture speaks a thousand words, for real.

[@maf3695]

OMG! your descriptions and pictures telling this story melted my heart , I’m sure many others. WOW! I had to stop dead in my tracks and call my daughter, my sister, my mom, and my aunts. ABSOLUTELY agree with everyone you are AMAZING, TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL, ENTHUSIASTIC and PASSIONATE!

[@septranilim]

I'm so glad I found you! I love your bright spirit, your talent, your love and respect to your body and use them to teach others. This edition is the one that touches my heart the most since I haven't seen any sad or heartbreaking photgraphs lately in Instagram world. I'm also a very shy person when it comes to being photographed, which means I can't make the best use of my gestures and expressions when there's another person in the room with me. I learn so much from you and hopefully can practice this well! Thank you, Sorelle!

[@NothingIsWrongToday]

You inspire me a lot in the creative sense, and it hasn't been long since I've found about you. I Draw but you inspire me to take pictures. I don't exactly love my body and you make me want to make art out of it, and I think that by doing that I will love it just as it is. You are an amazing creative individual who shows us how to do what you do and you inspire.

[@victorii2110]

Those photos are heartbreaking and breathtaking!

[@rileybick5837]

I’m a 8th grader who is creative and broken at the same time. I am taking photography and I just found your channel and I’m literally the happiest I could be✨🖤

[@faxardebatintenebris]

You've quickly grown to be my favorite channel about creativity and overall lifestyle. The way you speak about art and being a creator really gets to me, as a musician and an aspiring digital artist, you're a real inspiration to me. Keep up the great work and best of luck with your career!

[@slimshady7484]

You're a beautiful person. Everything that you talked about art couldn't get any truer. ❤

[@imaditighosh]

Omg I'm in love with this room, the weather, the lighting and the vibe. Its sooo my type 🤍✨

[@sedayarici4917]

the black and white one was my favourite !

[@BenjaminHari]

I just discovered your channel yesterday and I'm so shocked how your channel is not more popular. Your photography truly speaks to me as I love taking photos of myself because each time I get a glimpse of who I truly am. And your way of photographing is so inspiring as it makes emotion the main part of the photo and not just the beauty. Many channels these days just try to make the photo beautiful and creative while they forget one of the most important part that makes us appreciate and relate to the photography and that is Emotion. Thank you so much for sparking my creativity again while I was feeling dry for months. And please stay as smiling and whacky as you are, you warm up peoples heart with your awesome personality.

[@Wildflowermood]

When you upload a video, I stop everything I am doing just to watch it! 😍🙏 I am usually a very happy person, but would love to challenge myself with this! 💖

[@nnnkkk7152]

Yas girl! Please stay genuine... im know helps and others for sure

[@EfratAbigailBashari]

This is truly amazing, the ultimate way to show there's really beauty in everything. Even in sadness. I'm gonna try to challenge myself with that, hoping no one will think something really bad happened 😂

[@kyrellfly]

Learned so much! And I completely agree that there's beauty in being raw with our emotions. 😊 Thank you Sorelle! 🤗💖

[@karimocho1]

I love you Sorelle, thank you so much for giving me inspiration with everything you create ❤️

[@nanoushkha]

YOU ARE SOOOO INSPIIIRIINNG! Such an authentic being. Really! Been following u couple of months ago and I just been drinkiiin all of your videos. Looking for my own alignment I came across your channel and I was like : OMG this is exactly IT! Im a photographer and never realized I could actually be my own picture subject.. I mean duh I could but I just never thought of it until your channel word it as “advanced selfie” Seriously THANK U!! From the bottom of my heart. True wisdom is to be able to spark creativity into people heart and mind ! So again thank you ! 🌹

[@ikbaldursun5925]

The photograph that you took with candle was like a poster for a thriller and horror movie. I liked it the most.

[@moonshinemistspirit]

I love this idea so much! It's so interesting using sad emotions to capture a beautiful moment and tell a story through a photo. I agree in this day and age not a lot of pictures use the elements of sadness nowadays to still create art out of an negative emotion is such a beautiful thing. Love you.

[@sdbeilfuss]

Girl, I love your energy. I admire you. So thankful your sharing your experiences online. Also the last pic that you're using, the nude sitting in the bed, looks like a painting. So awesome. Keep 'em coming

[@thaisandrade9248]

This video is amazing! See how you express your feelings and emotions in your photos is beautiful and really inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sorelle 💖💖💖

[@holoscandatabase]

Love this topic, there is such beauty in sadness if that makes sense or not. Most of my creativity comes from the dark times of my life.

[@AniShahverdyan]

The photo where you sit around the window is so satisfying. I love it

[@LucyistotallyAwesome]

This was absolutley stunning

[@Soxandnicole]

You're a wonderful person. Bravo to you and your creativity.

I know this is an old video but what you said in the beginning hits home.

[@jellygalaxy]

These challenges are sooo creative. Excellent work Sorelle!

[@intotheabyss4945]

I have been into photography all my life and emotional photography is one of my favourite subjects. I just feel powerful to show what people are afraid to say. I have just found this video and it’s brilliant!:) great information. I’m glad I found your page 🖤

[@OlderWomenRock]

Thank you . It’s time to show my pain living with chronic ill health . I can portray the images from where I am , a women in her golden years . A woman who has achieved much but also struggled with illness and a world of isolation that chronic illness creates .

[@jameenobbs1533]

I had this thought of the concept of emotional expression within images a moment ago and it led me to finding your video. I agree with what you are saying. Everyone isn't expressing true emotion... No matter what kind of photo it is, someone will still try to be attractive or elegant. Like, it's so crazy how much of a stranger someone can be to you. sorry I'm pretty high too, just deep in thought.

[@GinaVadanaArtist]

LOOOOOVED IT!!!!!! I will def do the candle tear shot :D OMG, Sorelle, you are the QUEEN!!! love u xx

[@liviamelina360]

I loved it. I'll try for sure. My favorite one was the one you were sitting on the floor holding the chair

[@anjapoehlmann]

You are amazing! I love your work! I keep wanting to create self portraits but I'm scared of it (for many reasons) and keep waiting for... who knows what. Your work inspires me to pick this idea up again. Also, it's so true that creators just want to create and it hurts not doing it. Creating helps me to deal with any sort of emotion and it's almost like therapy.

[@Bianca-lh3jq]

YES EMOTIONS IM FEELIN IT

[@blueeyestombraiderchannel7737]

Sorelle, you inspire me so much. You have become a great inspiration for me to continue photographing, and to accept more of who I am.Thank you so much for existing. ❤️

You inspire me so much and I am proud to say that you remind me a bit of myself, but I still have a long way to go till I approximate all the things I admire about you.

The way you create or tell stories with these advance selfies are just amazing Sorelle! so many emotion

I love doing it! SO glad you love too!

[@1990ArthurGM]

Omg your videos and photos are just masterclass in art and emotion. I know it sounds super cliche and cheesy but every single one of your videos make me think about life, about me and what I want to be and do, makes me want to be a better more real person. So thanks again for being you, an awesome true emotional human being ;D

[@Khadeejahraja]

Don't ask me to choose Sorelle - Ioved them all. "Lets bring emotion back into imagery" Yaaas!

[@bellalunac]

Why do you always read my mind? Was just thinking about how to show more dark emotion in self portraits. Art always gives me a way to actually process and realize these emotions .❤️ Loved this

[@midwesternmarilyn]

Good job lady! Love this video there is beauty in darkness and things that are falling apart or have been torn apart

[@triptiejha4072]

Jusssst finished advanced selfie course!!!! And sooo doing this today!!!

I love your work. I love how unapologetic you are. Don't ever stop it help me and other people so much. Hope to work with you someday

[@SteveWelsh]

Loving your work in photography and video, you're so creative and can't believe the immense thought process you put in to each shot.

[@mimicupcake5213]

Your window is amazing and I like the first picture it just gives me a vibe and a comfort or when I'm upset I sit by my window so I got that vibe from that picture
